It's scary how quickly us white men are being replaced. Even scarier that nobody wants to have sex with us anymore.
I oppose racism. Therefore, I oppose DEI.
I see you are pro-racism Huey. That’s not good.
OP is the epitome of the saying “garbage in, garbage out.”
Then why do you sound like the racist here?
Why do I even bother? Maybe it's time to put you on ignore.
I haven’t only because it’s interesting to have a direct window into what the right-wing nutters are talking about.
Sounds rather stupid.
Isn't this a bit like tokenism on steroids? I think it's just ultimately moreso interested in social aesthetics than anything else.

What do you mean? I oppose racist policies like DEI. Do you support racist policy like DEI? Do you also want to bring back Jim Crow?
I was worried this was about no longer referencing "male" and "female" thread fittings, which would lead to confusion and chaos.
OP's video is a nothing burger.

It's taken a bizarre turn when you're basically trying to find certain minority demographics so that you can, seemingly, get to say you're diverse.
I think the original idea was to not discriminate against anyone, give everyone a fair shot.
Not assemble some super racially diverse squad of people to show off.

Supports the Apartheid advocate but claims to oppose racism... sure you do
I think some of you are missing key points. Nearly half of the work force is now 35 and under. That crowd embraces DEI. Companies like AZ are running out of cheap labor of white 30+ year old/rednecks to work the counter and floor. Labor shortage is real.
I'm a white mature worker at a university. I'm pretty conservative on most issues. Much of the DEI stuff at the U level is generally common sense stuff about being kind and respectful to women, gays, trans, and other minorities. As a conservative Christian, much of what they teach is actually pretty much how I would surmise Jesus would teach us.
In any organization, new hires are pretty much +- a few years of 28 with very little actual experience and very little experience left to mentor them. That is that part that is really scary.
Working for my university is frustrating from having co workers not able to carry their weight or take on new tasks beyond their academic training. However, administration is much much much more fun to work for. Just plain out nicer and more respectful.
My thoughts which I know will threaten some of you. The ag industry is becoming saturated with 20 something blonde haired B Bops with no and I mean no ag experience (a number of really large young people as well that physically walk across a field) and becoming managers with no management training.
I've decided to make the most of it and help train younger workers. Frustrated at times...heck yes. Getting used to not having to work as hard...I'm getting used to it. Not having to put up with Baby Boomer arrogance and difficult condescending attitudes? Sure. jDo I miss working around highly competent people? yes. However, I prefer the current work environment, but I do have concerns about the future and America's get it done attitude.

How does this directly impact you? How will this potentially impact me?
“An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - MLK Jr.
You could just leave one of PF, Arbor, or Here4aday off ignore and you won't miss a thing.
Amazing that some still think Libs of TickTok have any validity.
Race based discriminatory hiring practices as rejected by the Supreme Court.
Quotas by another name are still quotas. Illegal. UnAmerican.
Every American should reject racism and DEI.
Screening applicants for their political beliefs is also illegal. As put into practice by the Secret Service. Biden’s SS admitted they were breaking the law. I wonder how many felonies Biden’s Secret Service committed in hiring practices. Has the DOJ pursued charges?
Beyond the fact you embellished the part of the speech, it is your right to oppose DEI for whatever reasons, but it is complete BS to correlate what MLK Jr wrote from the Birmingham jail to some companies having a hiring practice initiatives.
But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.
Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.
You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city's white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.
In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action. We have gone through all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation.
You really dont understand racism
America is also about creating a more level playing field since Grant pushed civil rights and income taxes started.
I understand discriminating against people based on their race is racism. That makes one of us.
Trump is the DEI hire. In 2016 he had no experience and no qualifications, but people like you voted him in purely because he was rich, old, and white.
The handbook is explicitly against it.
You are against the handbook.
Ergo: You Are Racist.
He just might have to report to a brown, female, trans or gay person at his Advance Auto Parts workplace.
Maybe even have to call them by their given name. Can’t have that.
Or....*gasp*........their "preferred pronouns"!!!!!
